About

Parisa Shokouhi is a leading figure in nondestructive evaluation (NDE) and structural health monitoring, with a focus on developing and field-validating advanced sensing techniques for civil infrastructure. Her research bridges the gap between laboratory innovation and real-world application, particularly for challenging environments like underwater tunnels and concrete structures. A hallmark of her work is the practical integration of multiple NDT methods—including ground-penetrating radar (GPR), ultrasonic tomography (UST), and impact echo (IE)—as demonstrated in her highly cited 2016 study on the Chesapeake Channel Tunnel, which provided a comprehensive field evaluation of an underwater tunnel lining. This work, along with her contributions to acoustic emission and signal processing, has earned her over 1,500 citations and established her as a trusted authority in infrastructure assessment. Shokouhi’s research is not only technically rigorous but also directly impacts safety and maintenance practices for aging transportation networks. Her achievements include leadership roles in major NDE conferences and editorial boards, reflecting her influence in shaping the future of noninvasive infrastructure diagnostics. For students and researchers, her work exemplifies how combining theoretical insight with rigorous field testing can solve critical engineering challenges.
